A super clean, super-fast fermenting strain. A low ester-producing strain that results in a balanced, neutral flavor and aroma profile. Alcohol-tolerant and very versatile for a wide variety of styles. Similar to California Ale Yeast WLP001 but it generally ferments faster.

I purchased two packets. The main issue was in how the product was shipped. It was shipped in a box and took several days. I did not realize it would be shipped with absolutely no protection from heat. Because of this I believe the yeast was possibly affected. The yeast actually performed way worse then normal dry packet yeast I usually use. If I buy this item again I’ll be sure to add additional protection.

DOA

I found out the downside to the first pitchable yeast grown in its own sterilized packet; quality control. It seemed not quite right when I pitched it into the fermenter, then it never fermented. I am now heading to the nearest brew store (50 miles each way) with minimal inventory to find a substitute yeast to get the batch bubbling.

While not a large volume customer I have brewed many batches over the years using Morebeer ingredients. This is the first true hiccup that was not my fault. I don't know how common this is, but Whitelabs should be made aware. Time to lean on them a little Morebeer!

I stumbled upon this yeast a few years ago when my LHBS was out of WLP001 and I have never looked back. Formerly San Diego Super yeast, the intended style is evident and it's definitely up to to that task. It's an excellent attenuator and a great flocculator which produces some seriously clear West Coast IPAs. There's no question that it finishes clean and accentuates your hops but something about this strain is more nuanced with regard to the malt profile than other American yeast strains I've tried.No matter what, build up a healthy 2L starter and you've got a sure-fire winner for your next West Coast IPA.

Super reliable and always attenuates. Produces a nice clean ale for any style that you want a clean profile. It also accentuates hops for IPAs and APAs. I recently made an imperial stout and it’s come out beautifully! Love WLP090

Made a 2 Liter starter with this yeast for annual barleywine. This yeast was roaring in the fermentation bucket. Blew the lid off twice and I use blow off hoses in the lids. Then it went to just shooting foam out through the blow off hose until my airlock (bottle with water) overflowed. Tasted good upon kegging, but won't taste again for several months.Just be prepared for an aggressive fermentation.

A great all-around yeast for a wide range of beer styles. Quick and clean, what more can you ask for?

Although most everyone has a loyalty to WLP001, WLP090 is easily a perfect substitute for any beer that you'd want WLP001 for. I haven't experienced any delay in fermentation intitiation or completion and I've never experienced any esters from the recommended range of fermentation temperatures.

Sometimes you need beer in a hurry and this is definitely a top choice for fermenting with a quick turnaround. Occasionally a friend will ask for beer for a party with only a few week's notice. San Diego Super Strain is my go-to if I need to get it in and out of the fermenter quick and into a keg!

Made a 1.5L starter for a 1.065 OG IPA. Both the starter and the main ferment were slower to start and finish than I see with WLP001 (all other variables being pretty much the same). Also, the beer didn't clear as well as WLP001. Other than that, the beer was excellent.

I've used the super yest several times with great results. It's generally works really fast (most of my average ABV beers ferment out in 2-3 day). It also drops out fast with a bit of cold crashing. It has a very neutral contribution to the beer. But I have noticed that the closer the yeast gets to it expiration date, the slower it ferments. I feel it works best when used in a starter prior to brew day. But over all, I think it's a great yeast and I use it often, in may different beers.

Just as it says on the tin. It's not faster in that you need to worry about blow off, but faster in terms of time before it ramps down. I've used it 3 times in 1.080-1.060 worts with a 2L starter and it has performed each time.

This is the cleanest quickest yeast I have ever used as a homebrewer since 1971. Every one who tastes my brew says it's clean with little or no after taste just hops on a crisp bright clean palette. Little left over floctation.

Used this yeast with a starter and it shot off like a rocket within a few hours after pitching. Very vigorous fermentation and highly flocculant. Used it on an IPA instead of CA Ale 001 and couldn't be happier with the result.

I was really excited when I first saw this announced at the SD AHA conference a few years back. Love the idea of a "Super" IPA yeast and have used multiple times to good results. Seems to be just a faster version of the 001, with very similar flavor profiles. If you are using the 001 and are upping your OG, I would recommend trying this instead.

Used this twice. The first time it took off like a rocket, finished in two days and dropped out like a rock. The next time, it was a little sluggish getting going, but I likely underpitched. I'd use this again, for sure.
